Be it known that I, GREGOIRE Scanners, a citizen of the United States,residing in the city of Passaic, county of Passaic. and State of NewJersey, have invented certain new and useful Improvements inBelt-Dressing; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full,clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enableothers skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use thesame.

The compound thus produced is especially designed for the use on drivingbands or belts,

which by its means are kept cool and flexible and are prevented fromcracking, and thus have their life prolonged.

It may be well to remark that although I have selected the ingredientsto be compounded in the proportions stated the said proportions may bechanged as economy in the cost and quality of the ingredients or theadaptation to particular purposes or other circumstances may renderexpedient.
